Absolutely phenomenal service! The owner and chef is incredibly kind and personable, and you can really taste the love she puts into every dish. Her food is hands-down some of the best Japanese/Korean cuisine you’ll find on campus, fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I highly recommend trying the new Gyudon, it’s hearty, perfectly balanced between sweet and savory, and super satisfying. Oh, and don’t skip her house-made ranch, it’s honestly the best I’ve had in ages, and the Melon Refresher is the perfect drink to go with your meal! A total hidden gem you’ll be glad you discovered.

I loved this place. I was skeptical about Korean corn dogs but I tried the OG and it was fantastic. A lot of enjoyment for the price and I find myself wanting to go back often. The staff were also very kind and relaxed, and they had games inside! I recommend this place HARD.

Be a careful the dogs are addictive, I sold my grandpas special WW2 medallion just so I could have a lifetime supply of orders from here. This place is incredible, the wings (incredibly crisp & cooked to perfection) the fried skin chips? light & perfectly crispy), ive tried all the dogs & they were all served with perfect quality. pricing decent & fills me up everytime I LOVE THIS PLACE.

Came in to eat right after my flight, coming from the east coast for business. Had such a wonderful experience! My food was served promptly and it was all very delicious. Everyone working there was incredibly nice, especially the chef. This is one of the best small restaurants I've been to on a whim and I will be recommending it to all of my local friends!

Very cool little place. It's easy to miss if ur not looking but definitely a gem. I got the OG no mustard. I love mustard, but I thought it would overpower the cheese and breading. The flavor of the cheese was very, very good. Crunchy, hot, and made to order. Lovely experience, got to eat and watch chicken little.

Tried this place for the first time today since I was in the mood to grab some Korean fried chicken. We grabbed the large chicken, which comes with 15 wings. We chose 3 sauces: sweet spicy, garlic breath, and ginger bbq. All of them were very good. The chicken came out piping hot and crispy. The sweet spicy sauce wasn't very spicy, but it tasted great. You can definitely taste the gochujang in the sauce. The ginger bbq was probably my least favorite of the three sauces. It was a bit too tangy for me, but still tasty. My wife and I both LOVED the garlic breath. This had great flavor and balance, and it also was light enough that it allowed the wings to retain all of their crispness throughout our meal, which wasn't the case with the others (they were still great ). Overall, we really enjoyed them. We'll be back to have them again, and probably to try the corndogs, which we didn't sample today. Definitely worth a drive down to campus.

Every time I come here they are so nice and always seem happy. In my opinion they have the best Korean corn dog out of every other place I’ve tried. The wings are also really good and their sauce is home made and authentic. They have this desert there that is amazing as well. Great quality, quantity and service!
